As my title states, I'm in an online class, and don't get me wrong, I get the point of online is to do the work yourself. But this book IS NOT helpful at all. It asked for some Journal Entries and then never even gave an example of what one should look like. I went to my home university's Advanced Accounting book to find all the examples and explanations for concepts in this book. My Advanced Accounting book explained the first five chapters of this book better (and did it in only 2 chapters!!).There is no clear division of "Learning Objectives" and the Chapter is not divided into sections based on the learning objectives like most other Accounting books I have used. I'm a very visual person and it helps me to know that I've finished this concept and it's time to add another part or move on to step two of whatever process I'm doing. It's very confusing and difficult to read and they allude to answers. Like there are multiple choice questions and they ask about specifics from the reading. Right, no problem, until you're down to the last 2 choices and you're like "Screw this" because the book talks about both or never even mentioned these things. Not all of them are like that though.... just like 3 or 4... Maybe....This book is very bland and I've taken a lot of accounting classes...This book really isn't colorful (legit it's gray, red, black and white. Maybe some blue...). On top of that, it's just very wordy and hard to read and it's really been discouraging especially in an online class. As a student it stinks that I had to buy this book and it stinks if you're a student who has to buy this book for class.For any professors reading this, maybe you should pick a different book?
